My next project - sneak peek

I did weigh them on the crude analogue scales and the 2001 Zaskar was only a little lighter in weight but I can't remember exactly by how much.
I have already fitted the cranks and can't be bothered to take them off.:confused:
Just weighed the 2011 Zaskar which came in at 2067 grams with the seat collar, part of the headset(sealed bearings), and bottle cage still fitted.
 
I have just held the 2011 Zaskar up against the 2001 Zaskar and the difference in the geometry is noticeable, so I wouldn't want to fit anything longer than 100mm travel on the 2001 Zaskar.
It is not a huge difference so can't see an issue using my 100mm travel Fox Float 100RL forks on the 2001 Zaskar.
Will swap out the crown race and re-grease the headset tomorrow after work.
More photos will follow soon. ;)
 
Another quick update, brakes, derailleurs and cables fitted.
Will need to source a Shimano XT rear derailleur next as the Deore one is just ugly. 😑
I am quite pleased with how it looks, I definitely prefer the way this frame looks over the one it replaced!
